It's June '41 and you've made 31 patrols in a VIIB? Assuming you began on Sept. 1 ,'39 your average patrol and refit was only 21 days?

Each patrol in a VII (in my experience) is several weeks. I think 8 weeks is an average patrol for a VII, isn't it? And assuming a few weeks down after you get back, by June '41 you should only have at most 8 or 9 patrols.

What are you doing to get 31 patrols in less than two years? Heck, you'd be lucky to get that many patrols in a type II during that amount of time (typical patrol is 2 weeks at sea).
